2010 年世界卫生组织( WHO) 年度报告指出, 中国2009 年有110 万至150 万名结核患者, 并且每 10 万人口中即有新增病例50 至99 人。报告中也提到, 近年吸毒人数增多, 世界范围内有11% ～ 13% 的结核患者呈HIV 阳性。而在中国, 虽然仅有 1. 5% 的新增结核患者显示HIV 阳性, 比2007 年的 1. 9% 略有下降, 但中国结核病群体巨大, 其形势仍不容忽视[ 1, 2 ] 。
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical characteristics of non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) pulmonary disease and pulmonary tuberculosis, as well as the bacterial distribution of NTM pulmonary disease. Methods The bacterial distribution and clinical characteristics of 104 patients with NTM lung disease hospitalized in Jiangxi Provincial People’s Hospital from May 2017 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, as well as the clinicplal characteristics of 155 patients with tuberculosis hospitalized during the same period. Results The age of NTM lung disease group [(60±15) years] was higher than that of tuberculosis group [(55±19) years]. There were statistically significant differences in basic diseases (such as malignant tumor, type 2 diabetes, old tuberculosis, bronchiectasis), laboratory examination (such as blood routine examination, albumin) and chest imaging characteristics between the two groups (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in clinical symptoms (such as cough, sputum or fever) (P>0.05). The common underlying diseases of NTM lung disease were malignant tumor (29%), bronchiectasis (21%), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (19%), etc. The common clinical symptoms of NTM lung disease included cough, sputum, fever, hemoptysis, chest tightness and shortness of breath, and other non-specific respiratory symptoms. The common manifestations of NTM lung disease on chest high-resolution CT (HRCT) included patchy images (82%), mediastinal lymph node enalargement (35%), pleural thickening (31%), pleural effusion (26%) and other signs. The isolates of NTM included Mycobacterium avium (50%), Mycobacterium intracellulare (21%), Mycobacterium chelonae/abscessus (14%), Mycobacterium fortuitum (5%), Mycobacterium gordonae (4%), Mycobacterium gilvum (3%), and Mycobacterium smegmatis (3%). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age (OR=1.027) was a risk factor for NTM lung disease. Conclusions The clinical manifestations of NTM lung disease and tuberculosis are similar and difficult to distinguish. For male patients over 60 years old with malignant tumor, old tuberculosis, bronchiectasis and other basic diseases, and the chest HRCT findings are mainly bronchiectasis, NTM lung disease should be actively excluded. There is little difference in clinical manifestations between different strains of NTM lung disease, and the treatment cycle of NTM lung disease is long and easy to be interrupted, requiring enhanced follow-up.
Objective To evaluate the diagnosis value of purified protein derivative (PPD) antibody tests in childhood tuberculosis. Methods We reviewed 126 cases of hospitalization children tested body fluid PPD antibody by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Twenty-two them were diagnosed with tuberculosis. We determined the sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic likelihood ratio, positive prognostic value, negative prognostic value, post-test probability, respectively. Results The following accuracy statistics for the PPD body liquid antibody tests in this study: sensitivity, 45.45%; specificity, 91.35%; diagnostic likelihood ratio positive, 5.25; diagnostic likelihood ratio negative, 0.597; positive predictive value, 52.63%; negative predictive value, 88.79% and post-test probability, 48.09% in 15% of prevalence. Conclusion This study shows that body fluid PPD tests have limited value for diagnosis of tuberculosis in pediatric tuberculosis. Clinic physicians should be wary of the positive results of body fluid PPD antibody tests. The value of diagnosis is related to prevalence of tuberculosis in the specific hospital.

Objective To assess the value of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose （18 F-FDG） positron emission tomography （PET） in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods Fifty-three patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were imaged with 18SF-FDG-PET. 18F-FDG-PET data were analyzed retrospectively with visual method and semiquantitative method. When pulmonary tuberculosis with abnormal 18F-FDG uptake appeared in PET scans confirmed by visual method, their maximum standard uptake value （SUVmax）, mean standard uptake value （SUVmean） and standard uptake value of normal lung （SUVlung） were measured using semiquantitative method. Results Thirty-six pulmonary tuberculous nodules could be detected by 18SF- FDG-PET, and were diagnosed active tuberculosis with visual method. SUVmax（2. 77±1. 20） and SUV mean（2.15±0.86） were higher than SUVlung（0.41± 0.09, Z=-5. 232, P〈0.01 ; Z=- 5. 232, P〈0.01）. Correlations were not found between SUVmax ,SUVmax and nodule size （Dmax, Dmin）, SUVlung, age, blood glucose level in these 36 patients （P〉0.05）. Seventeen fibrosis and calcification cases without caseous necrosis were not found abnormal in 18F-FDG-PET. Conclusion 18F- FDG- PET is useful in diagnosing active tuberculosis , extent of tuberculosis and guiding therapeutic regimen.
ObjectivesTo evaluate the clinical value of laparoscopic exploration in the diagnosis of tuberculous peritonitis by meta-analysis.MethodsThe Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, WanFang Data, CNKI and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect relevant studies on the diagnostic value of laparoscopic exploration in diagnosing tuberculous peritonitis from January 1st, 1990 to April 1st, 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies. The Rveman 5.3, Meta-DiSc 1.4 and Stata SE15 software were used for statistical analysis and the receiver operating characteristic curve (SROC) was drawn.ResultsA total of 10 studies involving 1098 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, diagnosis odds ratio and area under the curve of SROC were 0.98 (95%CI 0.96 to 0.98), 0.85 (95%CI 0.78 to 0.91), 4.78 (95%CI 1.98 to 11.54), 0.06 (95%CI 0.03 to 0.12), 111.40 (95%CI 36.55 to 339.58) and 0.971 1, respectively and the Q* was 0.9216.ConclusionsThe existing evidence shows that laparoscopic exploration has higher sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of tuberculous peritonitis. Laparoscopic exploration can be used as a diagnosis and treatment tool for patients with tuberculous peritonitis in case the laboratory test cannot determine the origin. Due to the limited quality and quantity of included studies, the above results should be validated by more studies.
Objective To investigate the efficacy of freeze-driedcancellous allograft in the treatment of spinal tuberculosis. Methods From January 1999 to August 2004, there were 31 cases of spinal tuberculosis who underwent surgery. The freeze-dried cancellous allograft was used as grafting material in all the cases.The cancellous allograft was packed in a titanium mesh cage or an artificial vertebrae, and then used as a strut graft anteriorly to implant into the bone defect after the redical debridement, and the instrumentation was done. Results Twenty-three cases were followed up 1.5 years to 5 years (3.7 years on average), and bonyfusion was achieved in 21 cases 6 months later. In 2 cases ceasing antituberculous therapy after 2 months of operation, the local recurrence was obvious. The loosened screw was noticed in one of these two cases, who had tuberculosis in lumbar spine. When antituberculous therapy continued, the bony fusion was observed in these two cases 12 months later. No further position change of the instrument wasnoticed in the patient carrying loosened screw, but the kyphosis of the thoracolumbar spine aggravated. Conclusion Freeze-dried cancellous allograft could be usedin the treatment of spinal tuberculosis. To achieve good results of allograft incorporation and remodeling, the rigid instrumentation should be performed, postoperative antituberculous therapy is also important.
Objective To investigate and analyze the past and on-going pro-poor programs related to health equity, and the relevant policies, documents, interventions measures, etc. to improve the China prisoners’ accessibility and utilization of tuberculosis (TB) control services in TB control programs, then evaluate their impacts and influences to provide evidences and suggestions for the further work of TB prevention and treatment. Methods Retrieve published documents about TB prevention and treatment of transient population dating from 1998 to 2008 from MEDLINE, PubMed, CNKI, CBMdisc CDDB and VIP with computers. Simultaneously, a series of interviews was conducted after we got the agreement of the interview people by using non-probability statistics methods. Results A total of 23 documents were retrieved, and they were consonant with the criteria, among which 8 were published and 5 were policy documents. The study on the second document showed the measures that presently applied on TB patients among prisoners in China: find patients through surveys, inspect every prisons and patients going to visit doctors with symptoms; concerning differences between various groups of prisoners, the measure of “classify and instruction, enroll together and treat” was applied; carry out health education in the prisons and so on. After the implement of various measures, the knowledge awareness, discovery rate, accomplishment ratio, cure rate and so on were all improved. The results of the qualitative interviews showed: the TB patients and the doubts among prisoners could be well gotten together and isolated to receive DOTS; doctors were able to receive trainings on TB treatment and take appointment with certificate. Conclusion According to the results of qualitative interviews, the published and the secondary documents, it could be seen that DOTS are well implemented with remarkable effects.
